The combination of our industry backgrounds and investment experience provides unique insight into the challenges our portfolio company partners face, enabling us to serve as helpful financial and strategic partners through the entire investment cycle. Working in our role as a strategic sponsor, we create partnerships rooted in operational excellence, collaboration, and flexibility.
Proprietary Origination Network
Successful investing in the energy sector requires meaningful capital with significant domain knowledge and extensive industry relationships. We believe we can source negotiated transactions at attractive valuations as a reputable, well-capitalized industry player. Our team's extensive industry experience and our scale, asset ownership, and reputation enable long-term relationships with industry executives and key strategic players.
Value-Added, Operational Focus
We hand-pick management teams who are qualified to execute the strategic plan we develop in order to create value for our investors. We actively manage our assets and businesses alongside management teams to execute growth strategies and generate efficiencies. We expect our portfolio companies to create a culture that prioritizes safety and a rewarding work environment for all employees, while executing on a plan of growth, cost competitiveness, and long-term profitability. We don’t turn over the keys to our portfolio company management teams; instead, we look to actively partner with them on all critical strategic, financial, and operational decisions.
Downside Protection
Critical to our infrastructure investment focus are strategies designed to protect the downside of our investments, even if that means sacrificing some upside return potential. We emphasize contracts, hedges and other cash flow enhancing strategies in conjunction with a measured use of portfolio company leverage to create an overall investment portfolio with an appropriate risk profile for the returns we target. In addition, we believe that a prudent portfolio construction is one where investments are not all correlated to the same events, providing additional protection against downside market scenarios.
